Meet Linen, the newest member of our theme collection. Linen is a clean and flexible magazine style theme with some creative customization options. One of the coolest features is the option to completely control your typography. Linen uses select fonts from Google Fonts and gives you the choice to mix and match seven different accent fonts and eight different body fonts. Combine this feature with a custom background color or image and you have a truly unique and beautiful site.

Congrats on adding yet another fabulous theme to your name! I love the clean, uncluttered minimalist look of Linen. Being able to swap the fonts and change the background colors or import a background image via a user-friendly interface is very appealing. Keep up the good work. Yours truly.

Great new theme – but when will you be retrofitting existing themes so they can at least use fonts from Google Web Fonts (http://code.google.com/webfonts)? Several of your competitors already have this feature.

Bob: Thanks! If the feature is a success and ends up being popular we may end up retrofitting certain themes with Google Web Font support. I doubt we will add font support for all our themes, but you never know :)

Is one able to set up a contact us “column of fields” where one can input their name, phone number, email, etc and then ask a question…? I was about to purchase the pro version and did not see this as an option. I want prospects that find my sight to be able to fill out the form and have the site email me as soon as they are done inputting there info. This may be a feature that is built in to word press, but I want to make sure I can “insert” this into the linen theme. I know there are similar fields to “leave a comment” to a blog entry, but I want it to say “contact us” or something like that…

Thanks so much for your help! Great work with the theme. Out of all of the wordpress themes on the wordpress site, I liked Linen and Shelf the best!

I would suggest using a contact form plugin like Gravity Forms or the Grunion Contact Form. Either one should work well with Linen and give you the ability to add a “Contact Us” page. If you have any more questions shoot us an email (info at thethemefoundry.com).

I purchased your theme off WP and i love it but i want to do a custom header and dont know the width… Also, if i bought the theme off WP and not your website, am i not able to access your support forums?

I will set up a blog and I am looking for a suitable theme. Linen is my favorite, so I’m likely to purchase it. But I am German and this will be a german blog, so I have some stupid questions: Is it possible to change the format of the date above the thumbnails on the front page? Is it possible to rename the categories like “ARCHIVES”, “RECENT POSTS” and so on? Is it possible to rename the Link from the teaser to the physical page (now called “READ MORE”)? The same with “PAGES”, “Search” etc. Sorry for these probably stupid questions, but I just want to be sure.

Thanks in advance and I hope, it all will work, because I’ve fallen in love with Linen. :)
